Butternut Squash Gratin Recipe {Pompeian Grapeseed Oil Review}

Many readers may remember my most recent Smiley360 mission where I reviewed Pompeian’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil and even shared my recipe for Quinoa & Bean Stuffed Acorn Squash. I'm now back to share part two of my Pompeian mission, where I also had the opportunity to try one of their brand new products, 100% Grapeseed Oil Spray.

Pompeian’s Grapeseed Oil is imported from France and is all-natural, made from delicate wine grapes. Its flavor is very light compared to other oils, which is perfect when you are looking for something that’s not so robust and a little more subtle.

Grapeseed Oil has an extremely high smoke point, making it the perfect product to use in all types of cooking, including stir frying, sauteing, deep frying, and even baking!
This product is definitely a healthier option to use in place of other types of oils, because it contains:

No additives

No cholesterol

No preservatives

No sodium

No trans fats

Plus, it’s gluten free and a great source of Vitamin E (at 25% of the daily value per serving) and antioxidants! Even the container is eco-friendly, containing no propellants or CFCs.

Since I had previously shared one of my winter squash recipes in the extra virgin olive oil review, I also wanted to continue with another one while trying out the new Grapeseed Oil Spray, this time using one of my butternut squash recipes, Butternut Squash Gratin. With this dish, I was able to test out Pompeian's Grapeseed Oil Spray to both saute and bake!
